Abstract Background Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) infections are potentially life-threatening and may incur significant morbidity. Identifying a pathogen is important, both in terms of guiding therapeutic management, but also in characterizing prognosis. Usual care testing by culture and PCR is often unable to identify a pathogen. We examined the systematic application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for detecting organisms and transcriptomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in children with CNS infections. Methods We conducted a prospective multi-site study that aimed to enroll all children with a CSF pleocytosis and suspected CNS infection admitted to one of three tertiary pediatric hospitals during the study timeframe. After usual care testing had been performed, the remaining CSF was sent for mNGS and transcriptomic analysis. Results We screened 221 and enrolled 70 subjects over a 12-month recruitment period. A putative organism was isolated from CSF in 25 (35.7%) subjects by any diagnostic modality. mNGS of the CSF samples identified a pathogen in 20 (28.6%) subjects, which were also all identified by usual care testing. The median time to result was 38 hours. Conclusion Metagenomic sequencing of CSF has the potential to rapidly identify pathogens in children with CNS infections.

Background In our aging society, age-related hearing loss (AHL) is the most common sensory disorder in old people. Much progress has been made in understanding the pathological process of AHL over the past few decades. However, the mechanism of cochlear degeneration during aging is still not fully understood. Methods Next generation sequencing technique was used to sequence the whole transcriptome of the cochlea of C57BL/6 mice, a mouse model of AHL. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the Cuffdiff software. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were implemented by using the GOseq R package and KOBAS software, respectively. Results A total of 731 genes (379 up- and 352 down-regulated) were revealed to be differentially expressed in the cochlea of aged mice compared to the young. Many genes associated with aging, apoptosis, necroptosis and particularly, inflammation were identified as being significantly modulated in the aged cochlea. GO and KEGG analyses of the upregulated DEGs revealed that the most enriched terms were associated with immune responses and inflammatory pathways, whereas many of the downregulated genes are involved in ion channel function and neuronal signaling. Real-time qPCR showed that H2O2 treatment significantly induced the expression of multiple inflammation and necroptosis-related genes in HEI-OC1 cells. Conclusion Using next generation sequencing, our transcriptomic analysis revealed the differences of gene expression pattern with age in the cochlea of C57BL/6 mice. Our study also revealed multiple immune and inflammatory transcriptomic changes during cochlear aging and provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying cochlear inflammation in AHL.

AbstractThis work aimed to identify the key members of the bacterial community growing on common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fillets during chilled storage with next-generation sequencing (NGS) and cultivation-dependent methods. Carp fillets were stored for 96 h at 2 °C and 6 °C with and without a vacuum package, and an additional frozen-thawed storage experiment was set for 120 days. Community profiles of the initial and stored fish samples were determined by amplicon sequencing. Conventional microbial methods were used parallelly for the enumeration and cultivation of the dominant members of the microbial community. Cultivated bacteria were identified with 16S rRNA sequencing and the MALDI-TOF MS method. Based on our results, the vacuum package greatly affected the diversity and composition of the forming microbial community, while temperature influenced the cell counts and consequently the microbiological criteria for shelf-life of the examined raw fish product. Next-generation sequencing revealed novel members of the chilled flesh microbiota such as Vagococcus vulneris or Rouxiella chamberiensis in the vacuum-packed samples. With traditional cultivation, 161 bacterial strains were isolated and identified at the species level, but the identified bacteria overlapped with only 45% of the dominant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) revealed by NGS. Next-generation sequencing is a promising and highly reliable tool recommended to reach a higher resolution of the forming microbial community of stored fish products. Knowledge of the initial microbial community of the flesh enables further optimization and development of processing and storage technology.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDas kolorektale Karzinom (KRK) ist einer der häufigsten malignen Tumoren in Deutschland. Einer frühzeitigen Diagnostik kommt große Bedeutung zu. Goldstandard ist hier die Koloskopie. Die aktuelle S3-Leitlinie Kolorektales Karzinom empfiehlt zum KRK-Screening den fäkalen okkulten Bluttest. Für das Monitoring von Patienten vor und nach Tumorresektion werden die Messung des Carcinoembryonalen Antigens (CEA) und der Mikrosatellitenstabilität empfohlen. Für die Auswahl der korrekten Chemotherapie scheint derzeit eine Überprüfung des Mutationsstatus, mindestens des KRAS-Gens und des BRAF-Gens, sinnvoll zu sein. Eine Reihe an neuartigen Tumormarkern befindet sich momentan in der Entwicklung, hat jedoch noch nicht die Reife für eine mögliche Anwendung in der Routinediagnostik erreicht. Den schnellsten Weg in die breite Anwendung können Next-Generation-Sequencing-basierte genetische Tests finden.
